About this map

Jacksonville sits at the northern edge of this Pennsylvania landscape, where the Little Nittany Valley meets the high ridges of Bald Eagle Mountain. The area is defined by its series of parallel ridges and valleys, including Nittany Valley and the smaller Rag Valley to the south. Historically, these valleys provided fertile ground for settlements like Zion and Mingoville, which are linked by long-established routes such as Nittany Valley Dr.

Genealogists will find a cluster of burial grounds across the quadrangle, notably the Presbyterian Church Cem near Jacksonville Cem, and the Old Curtin Cem tucked near the water of Bald Eagle Creek. The terrain's natural gaps, like Howard Gap and Logan Gap, dictate the flow of travel through Greens Valley and Penns Valley, showing how geography shaped the expansion of these Centre County communities.
